Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. You may need to contest a will if you believe that the estate has not made proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about the validity because of lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. If you're the executor of a will, you may need to defend it if another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do so. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters.

We can advise on contesting a will if it excludes you or you believe that the estate has not properly provided for you.

We can advise you on defending a will from claims about validity or family provision if you act as the executor or administrator. We also provide support for other estate disputes, including disagreements about executor removal, estate administration and statutory will issues, as well as other equitable claims such as promissory estoppel. We provide legal advice in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and South Australia, as laws differ from state to state.

Getting started begins with a straightforward discussion. When you contact us, we connect you with a contested wills lawyer who listens to your situation and assesses your case. Our initial consultations are obligation-free. We start by asking focused questions about your relationship to the deceased, the terms of the will, the nature and value of the estate and the cause of the dispute. For instance, where you wish to contest a will, we can assess if you are eligible to make a family provision claim, explain what factors are important for your claim to succeed and what evidence may support your case. At each stage, we provide structured guidance about your available options, likely next steps, possible costs and any time limits that might impact your rights. We also recognise that financial stress is a common worry, and so we may offer "No Win No Fee" or deferred fee (Pay-at-End) arrangements on a case-by-case basis after assessing your circumstances and the merits of your case. What's more, you can reach out to us when you're curious about "estate litigation lawyers Sydney" or "informal will NSW". If you want to contest or challenge a will, need to defend a will against a claim by another person, or would like to ask us about "applying for a caveat over probate in NSW application forms" or "can you challenge a will", contact our friendly team of contested wills lawyers for an assessment of your case.
